		If FAIR lanes were introduced in combination with limited facility expansion, however, the proposition could be presented as a win-win scenario, with the FAIR lanes demand-management program used to ensure the continued success of the expansion project.
		Because FAIR lanes toll only a portion of the road, provide for free lanes, enhance transit service, and compensate those using the regular lanes with credits, they were seen as a possibility for the East River bridges-but there was no consensus on whether they should be tested there.
		Opponents of FAIR lanes in the New York region were concerned about the physical infrastructural limitations of most existing facilities and the inability to add lanes in the region.

		In China alone, 300 million people depend on water from the glaciers for their survival. Yet the plateau is drying up, threatening to escalate an already dire situation across the country. Already 400 cities are short of water; in 100 of them — including Beijing — the shortages are becoming critical.
